Sword Stock = Gone

[Ace McCloud]

This sword (http://www.weaponmasters.com/index.html?ID=d28574f0d9771c4e4ff45d9e86d5d007&ITEM=JBL-758B4&SORT=PRICE_UP&FDX=1&FMAX=10), that I had planned to buy for Christmas, is out of stock! Damn crappy sword dealer. I now have to find a new sword set, quickly, as the 25th is 2 weeks away. Suggestions(Regarding sword dealers, besides SMKW, or perhaps a new sword set)? :x

didn't have time to check how good they where.

Here are tang types:

crappy swords like mine have no tang, and it all glued together. What crappy fun.

Unfortunately, it's canadian, but they're supposed to have good selection.

[Anbira Hicchoru]

Get a Ka-Bar. Its much sharper, much stronger, and its utilitarian.

I've done everything from dicing chicken and slicing cheese to whittling wood and pruning Christmas tree branches with mine.

[Ceres Duvall]

You boys are starting to scare me. o.O *has never seen so much talk about swords in her entire life*

[Abagael Zellan]

Hmmm.

I think I now know what to get my brother for Christmas. Thanks Charley.

[Ace McCloud]

I have plent of knives. I have about 3 kershaws and gerbers, including a large hunting knife. I'm sure I could do all of that with them anyhow, Charley. You can dismember people with Ka-bar...well i guess you could, but it would take longer.

Thanks for all the links =)

EDIT: http://gungfu.com/cart-htm/swords_samurai_steel_blade.htm Wooooo, bootiful! First sword set is what I'm going to get, though I like the second very much. Too bad I don't have trees that grow money...

[imported_Akrabbim]

I recommend http://www.mantisswords.com

I bought several things from them, and I've been rather pleased. I'd recommend the Kami (under Folded swords) but it's a bit pricey. Beautiful sword, though.

[Ishan Shade]

I've got a katana and a fencing rapier from the 18th century. I'll try to get some pics of them up for ya Charley...you'd appreciate my instruments of death. :D

[imported_Akrabbim]

I wouldn't mind seeing those myself. :)

[Ishan Shade]

The rapier is beautiful. It has a brass handle that wraps fully around the hand :) It's quite nice.

[Wei Wu Wei]

Cool stuff man. I like Mantisswords. They seem to know what they're doing. Too bad their swords cost so much.

[Ezekiel Frost]

They do, but they're worth it. Try the practical katanas. They're not too bad, and they work quite well for slicing up milk jugs and orange juice cartons. :)

[Alpha]

Ishan~That sounds like an awsome toy. :)

[Ishan Shade]

^^^

Indeed it is. I need a sheath for it though.

[Silus Xilarian]

Ive seen the katanas that Akrabbim has. Great weapons. Weighted well, and fully functional ^_^;

It doesnt take much to dismember someone. If I actually had to use a knife on a person, id rather it be small and razor sharp.

[Charley]

I can remove large-ish branches from a tree with one hack of a Ka-Bar. Believe me, an arm would be just as agreeable.

Ishan, I'd like to see your sword pics.

[Arya Ravenwing]

Hey, just as a sort of an aside (and also 'cause we didn't get to see Ishan's sword pics!) this is what a full tang sword would look like, isn't it?

[Sejah Haversh]

No, at least I can't tell from that image if it is, but that has a BEAUTIFUL patination, and the hamon is loveley. THAT is real folded steel. Ohh, I want.

Full tang is when the steel goes all the way down through the handle to the pommel, or base. Most swords are only a partial tang, or rattail tang, which goes about halfway down the handle. the tang is the part of the blade that goes into the handle.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Oh...well since it says the handle is detatchable (?) it isn't full tang. But the sword is GORGEOUS and I just bid on it. $19.90 + s/h. Lemme get a link to the sellers other swords.

< the one I bid on http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20084&item=2588492473 >

[Sanis Prent]

BUY THAT FOR ME PLEASE!

I need to see more pics, but if its got patination like that, its a full tang sword. That's the real deal, girl!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

There are a ton more CHarley, and they're fairly inexpensive. It's a new seller on Ebay, and I think he should get real popular soon. Although his engrish is great. :p

[ReaperFett]

This auction is for a valuable broad sword, originated from the famous Second World War.
Never heard of it.



Location: BeiJing
United States
It moved? ;)


.If you enter this page ,I must say you are a professional antique collector.
Why thanks :)

[Sanis Prent]

Oh well. They don't accept paypal.

If you get it Holly, I'll buy it from you!

[Sejah Haversh]

Eighty bucks for shipping!!! Holy crap!

[Charley]

Damn, I forgot about that little loophole.

[ReaperFett]

Yeh, but a low buying price.

[Ace McCloud]

I still haven't had time to clean my swords yet. They're still oiled up. The craftmans ship on mine turned out to be not that great. The tanto's is really crappy, I have to repaint some things soon. I'll probably start working on that this weekend. It's only a partial tang (I believe), but thats fine with me. Charley has the same set it seems.

[Charley]

Told you so.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

*hee hee* Well it's going to make a very cool gift.

[ReaperFett]

Well if you ever want to get ME a gift, remembering my birthday is only 202 days away...

I can play Supervillain then :D

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Good grief, Fett!! :eek

Heck, I want one in my backyard. :(

[ReaperFett]

Buy that one, and tunnel to your back yard! :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

:cry I got out bid!! :cry I don't know if I'll ever find another one that beautiful! :(

[ReaperFett]

He's in Canada. Let's get 'im!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Question - if a sword blade has a bit of rust on it is it possible to clean it off, or would that damage the sword? So I suppose I'm asking if it's possible to return a blade with a bit of rust on it to near prime condition. :huh
